You Know You're on Bedrest When...



  • The nurses act as if you've won a contest due to being here the longest of the current patients


  • Having a sonogram is the highlight of the week (just to see the outside of the hospital doorway)


  • People/nurses come in & say "wow you look nice with makeup on!" (umm, thanks?)


  • You have to flip the pillows/mattress topper often because you're wearing a groove in them


  • You know who is entering the room by the way they knock (or don't)


  • You know every nurse, custodian, & hostess by name along with many of their personal histories


  • The most exciting daily event is marking another day off the calendar


  • It no longer bothers you to have to pee every hour (just to be able to get out of bed)


  • You've become very picky about detergent b/c it's all you smell (preferably lavender Downy)


  • Your eyebrows cannot be plucked again or there won't be anything left of them
I just had to post something upbeat & off from the usual updates since there's not much else going on around here! It's been a lovely, boring two weeks & for that I am grateful! We will get an update on weights on Saturday & I'll post once we know. Just a week & a half until 32 weeks! I was able to see my girlfriend's twin boys in the NICU today (now 33 wks) & it made me even more excited to see our girls. They were so tiny! I still can't believe there are two in there! Goodnight friends!
